Specific respiratory pathogens exhibit higher growth rates in patients with influenza infection. A The growth rate values of all detected potential pathogens and commensals were used to analyze the difference between infected and healthy groups (Wilcoxon rank-sum test with subsequent Bonferroni correction). B The correlations of growth rates between pathogens and commensals were analyzed, and the heatmap showed objects with significant associations. C Spearman methods revealed the significant correlations between pathogens and bacterial pathways or antibiotics genes, and the networks were displayed with Cytoscape software
